DESCRIPTION

   ldappasswd is a tool to set the password of an LDAP  user.   ldappasswd
   uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.

   ldappasswd  sets  the  password  of  associated  with  the  user [or an
   optionally specified user].  If the new password is  not  specified  on
   the command line and the user doesn't enable prompting, the server will
   be asked to generate a password for the user.

   ldappasswd is neither designed nor intended to  be  a  replacement  for
   passwd(1) and should not be installed as such.

OPTIONS

   -V[V]  Print   version  info.   If  -VV  is  given,  only  the  version
          information is printed.

   -d debuglevel
          Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.  ldappasswd must  be
          compiled  with  LDAP_DEBUG  defined  for this option to have any
          effect.

   -n     Do not set password. (Can be useful  when  used  in  conjunction
          with -v or -d)

   -v     Increase  the  verbosity  of  output.  Can be specified multiple
          times.

   -A     Prompt for old password.  This is used instead of specifying the
          password on the command line.

   -a oldPasswd
          Set the old password to oldPasswd.

   -t oldPasswdFile
          Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile.

   -S     Prompt for new password.  This is used instead of specifying the
          password on the command line.

   -s newPasswd
          Set the new password to newPasswd.

   -T newPasswdFile
          Set the new password to the contents of newPasswdFile.

   -x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL.

   -D binddn
          Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
          For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.

   -W     Prompt  for  bind  password.  This is used instead of specifying
          the password on the command line.

   -w passwd
          Use passwd as the password to bind with.

   -y passwdfile
          Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password  for  simple
          authentication.

   -H ldapuri
          Specify  URI(s)  referring  to  the  ldap  server(s);  only  the
          protocol/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI,  separated
          by whitespace or commas is expected.

   -h ldaphost
          Specify  an  alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
          Deprecated in favor of -H.

   -p ldapport
          Specify  an  alternate  TCP  port  where  the  ldap  server   is
          listening.  Deprecated in favor of -H.

   -e [!]ext[=extparam]

   -E [!]ext[=extparam]

          Specify  general extensions with -e and passwd modify extensions
          with -E.  ! indicates criticality.

          General extensions:
            [!]assert=<filter>    (an RFC 4515 Filter)
            !authzid=<authzid>    ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
            [!]bauthzid           (RFC 3829 authzid control)
            [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
            [!]manageDSAit
            [!]noop
            ppolicy
            [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
            [!]preread[=<attrs>]  (a comma-separated attribute list)
            [!]relax
            sessiontracking
            abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
            or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
            not really controls)

          Passwd Modify extensions:
            (none)

   -o opt[=optparam]]

          Specify general options.

          General options:
            nettimeout=<timeout>  (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
            ldif-wrap=<width>     (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)

   -O security-properties
          Specify SASL security properties.

   -I     Enable SASL Interactive mode.  Always  prompt.   Default  is  to
          prompt only as needed.

   -Q     Enable SASL Quiet mode.  Never prompt.

   -N     Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.

   -U authcid
          Specify  the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
          depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.

   -R realm
          Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind.  The  form
          of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.

   -X authzid
          Specify  the  requested authorization ID for SASL bind.  authzid
          must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or
          u:<username>.

   -Y mech
          Specify  the  SASL  mechanism  to be used for authentication. If
          it's not specified, the program will choose the  best  mechanism
          the server knows.

   -Z[Z]  Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If
          you use -ZZ, the  command  will  require  the  operation  to  be
          successful
